Abbotsbury Swannery.

Went along to the Swannery as the cygnets were hatching (slightly earlier than usual).
Here are a few pics, probalbly similar to the ones I put up a couple of years ago.

The Blacks are not allowed to breed here as they are non native, if they do the young are taken to Cricket St Thomas Wildlife Park












A lone Brent Goose who got left behind, should be in the Arctic Circle by now.

 

I love swans! You look like you have a nice place to visit there, I'm so jealous!

 

Gosh, strongy, it took me forever to find this again as I've been 'not here' so to speak and I was looking in Wildlife for it .... :dh:

Anyway, I'm here and I love your pictures and I so adore black swans having encountered them in the Açores in 1993 .... I painted a picture of mine along with a white swan of woo :luv:

The babies are to die for and I hope that lone Brent Goose is a happy bunny .... :lollol:

Thank you for sharing those wonderful pictures ... I certainly love them. :luv:

 

Vicky, I put it here as really the Swannery is 'managed' ie feed daily, cut reeds supplied for nests etc, so in a way I thought it wasn't right in the Wildlife topic.
We went before it really gets busy during the next 2 weekends.
